Runaway Bride

Chapter 12 She Only Waited For A Nightmare.

"I’m, I'm sorry." Elizabeth Song whispered.

Her clenched wrists were loosened, and a circle of red marks left. She didn’t dare to rub it but squatted to clean up the debris on the ground. Unfortunately, her finger was cut by accident, and blood suddenly flowed out.

Johnny seemed to lose appetite, and got up to leave. Before leaving, he said: "Dinner in Lu Mansion tomorrow night. What do you need, ask driver to send you to buy it." After saying that, he went upstairs.

As soon as he left, Elizabeth's finally relaxed. Her wrist hurt so much that she couldn't hold things up.

After applying medicine on her wrist, she returned to clean up the mess.

Elizabeth was daunting in the kitchen, washing things very slowly on purpose. She was afraid Johnny would make love with her like last time again, and she was so fearful just thinking of it.

But no matter how slowly she dis, it couldn’t solve it. She had to go upstairs after turning off the light in the living room.

It was pitch black. Elizabeth heard Johnny breathing slowly, and felt Lucky that Johnny was asleep. But for fear of awakening him, she still didn’t dare to turn on the light and felt to the bathroom.

After returning from the bath, she lifted the quilt and went to bed cautiously. She didn't dare to get too close to him, but his breath was so close that she couldn't help but be nervous.

Elizabeth felt sad when she touched the little jade on her chest.

She met Jingmo Lu in Fei City, when she was 16 years old. Knowing of his noble status, she had always avoided him, but Jingmo stuck to pursue her. Therefore, she sent him the jade that her mother left as a token of affection.

They agreed that when she was eighteen years old, reached the legal marriage age, he would persuade his families to marry her. From then on, she waited happily.

While at her eighteen years old, she only waited for a nightmare.

Thinking of that day Jingmo met her at Jinyuan, his eyes changed from shock to anger, Elizabeth burst into tears, and buried her head in the quilt in order not to let others find her crying.

In this area, the old tradition was deeply ingrained that a woman would be cursed if she got remarriage, let alone lose virginity.

Even if the eldest sister came back, she was free but not qualified to be with Jingmo anymore.

From the moment the jade was broken, their affections and so on were broken, too.

Even though later she hid her thoughts to fix it, she knew better than anyone that it was too late.

"Elizabeth, don't challenge my temper." A man's voice came from the darkness, said indifferently, "If you want to cry, go to a place where I can't see you!"

Elizabeth was so scared by him that she stopped crying. Johnny was silen, and she clutched the quilt tightly, felt asleep.

In the early morning, Elizabeth woke up. It was cold around her, obviously Johnny had been away for a while.

After washing, Elizabeth sat at the dressing table and made up carefully.

She was good at using these powders, but felt uncomfortable to see her face changed into another appearance. Then after dressing, she went downstairs.

After the driver sent Johnny to the camp, he returned to Jinyuan and waited for Elizabeth. Seeing Elizabeth went downstairs, he bowed and saluted.

"Good morning, Madame. The colonel had asked me to take you out to buy some new clothes."

"Okay." Johnny said it last night. Elizabeth was lazy to cook breakfast, so she just decided to eat fried bread stick and tofu jelly outside.

After breakfast, the driver took Elizabeth to Siyige Cloth Shop. Property © of NôvelDrama.Org.

This shop was well-known in Nanping City. The master was excellent in making clothes, and almost every rich girl came here to customize clothes.

Although Johnny and Jingyu held a western wedding in accordance with European customs, and didn’t invite many people. However, Jingyu occasionally came to Siyige to customize clothes, so the master knew her.

"Madam." The master felt Miss Song was different from the previous, she looked pretty young, "Madam, you are really well maintained, getting younger and younger."

Anyway, she was five years younger than her elder sister, and there were still some differences between them, she was not as fit as her elder sister. Hearing the master’s words, Elizabeth could only nod her head.
